Pre-Release Version Release Notes

Preview Features

  • The About command now prints a list of which SSH connections have host passwords or keyfile passwords set
  • Added the command Dbg Psrv off to disable the debugging server
  • Added the l operation to range statements which is like x, but prints the entire line that matches the regular expression. For example, !l/word/ will match all lines that contain "word".
  • Added the table [alias] to the settings.toml configuration file that allows the definition of command aliases. For example, adding the following to settings.toml will define an alias named 'Light' that when executed within Anvil will execute the command LoadStyle /path/to/style-light-bg.js:
[alias]
Light="LoadStyle /path/to/style-light-bg.js"
  • Added API notifications when a file is opened for the first time
  • On MacOS, allow Command+C, +X and +V to perform copy, cut and paste respectively
  • For better support of Apple 2-button mice, allow Left-Click+Command to act as a middle click (execute)
